CYANO THIENOTRIAZOLODIAZEPINES AND USES THEREOF
RELATED APPLICATIONS
[0001] This application claims priority under 35 U.S.C. 119(e) to U.S.
Provisional
Application, U.S.S.N. 62/217,521, filed September 11, 2015, which is
incorporated herein by
reference.
BACKGROUND
[0002] Bromodomain-containing proteins are of substantial biological interest,
as
components of transcription factor complexes and determinants of epigenetic
memory. For
example, the bromo and extra terminal (BET) protein family (e.g., bromodomain-
containing
protein 2 (BRD2), bromodomain-containing protein 3 (BRD3), bromodomain-
containing
protein 4 (BRD4), and bromodomain testis-specific protein (BRDT)) shares a
common
domain architecture featuring two amino-terminal bromodomains that exhibit
high levels of
sequence conservation, and a more divergent carboxy-terminal recruitment
domain
(Filippakopoulos et al., Nature 2010, 468, 1067-1073). BRD2 and BRD3 are
reported to
associate with histones along actively transcribed genes and may be involved
in facilitating
transcriptional elongation (Leroy et al., Mol. Cell. 2008, 30, 51-60). It has
also been reported
that BRD4 or BRD3 may fuse with nuclear protein in testis (NUT), forming novel
fusion
oncogenes BRD4-NUT or BRD3-NUT, in a highly malignant form of epithelial
neoplasia
(French et al., Cancer Res., 2003, 63, 304-307; French et al., J. Clin. Oncol.
2004, 22, 4135-
4139). Data suggests that BRD-NUT fusion proteins contribute to carcinogenesis
(French et
al., Oncogene 2008, 27, 2237-2242). BRDT is uniquely expressed in the testes
and ovary. All
family members of BET have been reported to have some function in controlling
or executing
aspects of the cell cycle and have been shown to remain in complex with
chromosomes
during cell division, suggesting a role in the maintenance of epigenetic
memory. In addition,
some viruses make use of BET proteins to tether their genomes to the host cell
chromatin, as
part of the process of viral replication (You et al., Cell 2004, 117, 349-
360). BRD4 appears to
be involved in the recruitment of the pTEF-b complex to inducible genes,
resulting in
phosphorylation of RNA polymerase and increased transcriptional output
(Hargreaves et al.,
Cell 2009, 138, 129-145). In humans, BRD2, BRD3, BRD4, and BRDT exhibit
similar gene
arrangements, domain organizations, and some functional properties (Wu et al.,
J. Biol.
Chem. 2007, 282, 13141-13145).

PCT publication WO 2009/084693 discloses a series of thienotriazolodiazepine
derivatives
that inhibit the binding between an acetylated histone and a bromodomain-
containing protein
which are useful as anti-cancer agents. International PCT publication WO

suggests compounds which inhibit the binding of a bromodomain with its cognate
acetylated
proteins may be useful in the treatment of autoimmune and inflammatory
diseases. However,
there remains a need for additional potent and safe bromodomain binders.

[0072] A "counterion" or "anionic counterion" is a negatively charged group
associated with
a positively charged group in order to maintain electronic neutrality. An
anionic counterion
may be monovalent (i.e., including one formal negative charge). An anionic
counterion may
also be multivalent (i.e., including more than one formal negative charge),
such as divalent or
trivalent. Exemplary counterions include halide ions (e.g., F, cr, Br, 1-),
NO3-, C104-, OW,
H2PO4-, HCO3-, HSO4-, sulfonate ions (e.g., methansulfonate,
trifluoromethanesulfonate, p¨
toluenesulfonate, benzenesulfonate, 10¨camphor sulfonate, naphthalene-
2¨sulfonate,
naphthalene-1¨sulfonic acid-5¨sulfonate, ethan¨l¨sulfonic acid-2¨sulfonate,
and the like),
carboxylate ions (e.g., acetate, propanoate, benzoate, glycerate, lactate,
tartrate, glycolate,
gluconate, and the like), BF4-, PF4-, PF6-, AsF6-, SbF6-, B113,5-(CF3)2C6H3l4l

gluconate, succinate, glutarate, adipate, pimelate, suberate, azelate,
sebacate, salicylate,
phthalates, aspartate, glutamate, and the like), and carboranes.
[0001] As used herein, a "leaving group" (LG) is an art-understood term
referring to a
molecular fragment that departs with a pair of electrons in heterolytic bond
cleavage, wherein
the molecular fragment is an anion or neutral molecule. As used herein, a
leaving group can
be an atom or a group capable of being displaced by a nucleophile. See, for
example, Smith,
March Advanced Organic Chemistry 6th ed. (501-502). Exemplary leaving groups
include,
but are not limited to, halo (e.g., chloro, bromo, iodo), ¨OR aa (when the 0
atom is attached to
a carbonyl group, wherein Raa is as defined herein), ¨0(C=0)RLG, or ¨O(SO)2R'G
(e.g.,
tosyl, mesyl, besyl), wherein RLG is optionally substituted alkyl, optionally
substituted aryl,
or optionally substituted heteroaryl. In some cases, the leaving group is a
halogen. In some
embodiments, the leaving group is I. Examples of suitable leaving groups
include, but are not
limited to, halides (such as chloride, bromide, or iodide), alkoxycarbonyloxy,
aryloxycarbonyloxy, alkanesulfonyloxy, arenesulfonyloxy, alkyl-carbonyloxy
(e.g., acetoxy),
arylcarbonyloxy, aryloxy, methoxy, N,0-dimethylhydroxylamino, pixyl,
haloformates, ¨NO2,
trialkylammonium, and aryliodonium salts. In certain embodiments, the leaving
group is a
sulfonic acid ester. In certain embodiments, the sulfonic acid ester comprises
the formula ¨
OSO2RLG1 wherein RLG1 is selected from the group consisting alkyl optionally,
alkenyl
optionally substituted, heteroalkyl optionally substituted, aryl optionally
substituted,
heteroaryl optionally substituted, arylalkyl optionally substituted, and
heterarylalkyl

[0073] As used herein, use of the phrase "at least one instance" refers to 1,
2, 3, 4, or more
instances, but also encompasses a range, e.g., for example, from 1 to 4, from
1 to 3, from 1 to
2, from 2 to 4, from 2 to 3, or from 3 to 4 instances, inclusive.
[0074] A "non-hydrogen group" refers to any group that is defined for a
particular variable
that is not hydrogen.
[0075] These and other exemplary substituents are described in more detail in
the Detailed
Description, Examples, and claims. The invention is not intended to be limited
in any manner
by the above exemplary listing of substituents.
Other definitions
[0076] As used herein, the term "salt" refers to any and all salts, and
encompasses
pharmaceutically acceptable salts.
[0077] The term "pharmaceutically acceptable salt" refers to those salts which
are, within the
scope of sound medical judgment, suitable for use in contact with the tissues
of humans and
lower animals without undue toxicity, irritation, allergic response, and the
like, and are
commensurate with a reasonable benefit/risk ratio. Pharmaceutically acceptable
salts are well
known in the art. For example, Berge et al. describe pharmaceutically
acceptable salts in
detail in J. Pharmaceutical Sciences, 1977, 66, 1-19, incorporated herein by
reference.
Pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the compounds of this invention include
those derived
from suitable inorganic and organic acids and bases. Examples of
pharmaceutically
acceptable, nontoxic acid addition salts are salts of an amino group formed
with inorganic
acids, such as hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, phosphoric acid, sulfuric
acid, and
perchloric acid or with organic acids, such as acetic acid, oxalic acid,
maleic acid, tartaric
acid, citric acid, succinic acid, or malonic acid or by using other methods
known in the art
such as ion exchange. Other pharmaceutically acceptable salts include adipate,
alginate,
ascorbate, aspartate, benzenesulfonate, benzoate, bisulfate, borate, butyrate,
camphorate,
camphorsulfonate, citrate, cyclopentanepropionate, digluconate,
dodecylsulfate,

PCT/US2016/051107
ethanesulfonate, formate, fumarate, glucoheptonate, glycerophosphate,
gluconate,
hemisulfate, heptanoate, hexanoate, hydroiodide, 2-hydroxy-ethanesulfonate,
lactobionate,
lactate, laurate, lauryl sulfate, malate, maleate, malonate, methanesulfonate,
2-
naphthalenesulfonate, nicotinate, nitrate, oleate, oxalate, palmitate,
pamoate, pectinate,
persulfate, 3-phenylpropionate, phosphate, picrate, pivalate, propionate,
stearate, succinate,
sulfate, tartrate, thiocyanate, p-toluenesulfonate, undecanoate, valerate
salts, and the like.
Salts derived from appropriate bases include alkali metal, alkaline earth
metal, ammonium,
and 1\1 (C1_4 alky1)4- salts. Representative alkali or alkaline earth metal
salts include sodium,
lithium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, and the like. Further pharmaceutically
acceptable
salts include, when appropriate, nontoxic ammonium, quaternary ammonium, and
amine
cations formed using counterions such as halide, hydroxide, carboxylate,
sulfate, phosphate,
nitrate, lower alkyl sulfonate, and aryl sulfonate.
[0078] The term "solvate" refers to forms of the compound, or a salt thereof,
that are
associated with a solvent, usually by a solvolysis reaction. This physical
association may
include hydrogen bonding. Conventional solvents include water, methanol,
ethanol, acetic
acid, DMSO, THF, diethyl ether, and the like. The compounds described herein
may be
prepared, e.g., in crystalline form, and may be solvated. Suitable solvates
include
pharmaceutically acceptable solvates and further include both stoichiometric
solvates and
non-stoichiometric solvates. In certain instances, the solvate will be capable
of isolation, for
example, when one or more solvent molecules are incorporated in the crystal
lattice of a
crystalline solid. "Solvate" encompasses both solution-phase and isolatable
solvates.
Representative solvates include hydrates, ethanolates, and methanolates.
[0079] The term "hydrate" refers to a compound that is associated with water.
Typically, the
number of the water molecules contained in a hydrate of a compound is in a
definite ratio to
the number of the compound molecules in the hydrate. Therefore, a hydrate of a
compound
may be represented, for example, by the general formula R.x H20, wherein R is
the
compound, and x is a number greater than 0. A given compound may form more
than one
type of hydrate, including, e.g., monohydrates (x is 1), lower hydrates (x is
a number greater
than 0 and smaller than 1, e.g., hemihydrates (RØ5 H20)), and polyhydrates
(x is a number
greater than 1, e.g., dihydrates (R.2 H20) and hexahydrates (R.6 H20)).
[0080] The term "tautomers" or "tautomeric" refers to two or more
interconvertible
compounds resulting from at least one formal migration of a hydrogen atom and
at least one
change in valency (e.g., a single bond to a double bond, a triple bond to a
single bond, or vice
CA 02996974 2018-02-27
WO 2017/044849
PCT/US2016/051107
31
versa). The exact ratio of the tautomers depends on several factors, including
temperature,
solvent, and pH. Tautomerizations (i.e., the reaction providing a tautomeric
pair) may
catalyzed by acid or base. Exemplary tautomerizations include keto-to-enol,
amide-to-imide,
lactam-to-lactim, enamine-to-imine, and enamine-to-(a different enamine)
tautomerizations.
[0081] It is also to be understood that compounds that have the same molecular
formula but
differ in the nature or sequence of bonding of their atoms or the arrangement
of their atoms in
space are termed "isomers". Isomers that differ in the arrangement of their
atoms in space are
termed "stereoisomers".
[0082] Stereoisomers that are not mirror images of one another are termed
"diastereomers"
and those that are non-superimposable mirror images of each other are termed
"enantiomers".
When a compound has an asymmetric center, for example, it is bonded to four
different
groups, a pair of enantiomers is possible. An enantiomer can be characterized
by the absolute
configuration of its asymmetric center and is described by the R- and S-
sequencing rules of
Cahn and Prelog, or by the manner in which the molecule rotates the plane of
polarized light
and designated as dextrorotatory or levorotatory (i.e., as (+) or (¨)-isomers
respectively). A
chiral compound can exist as either individual enantiomer or as a mixture
thereof. A mixture
containing equal proportions of the enantiomers is called a "racemic mixture".
[0083] The term "polymorph" refers to a crystalline form of a compound (or a
salt, hydrate,
or solvate thereof). All polymorphs have the same elemental composition.
Different
crystalline forms usually have different X-ray diffraction patterns, infrared
spectra, melting
points, density, hardness, crystal shape, optical and electrical properties,
stability, and
solubility. Recrystallization solvent, rate of crystallization, storage
temperature, and other
factors may cause one crystal form to dominate. Various polymorphs of a
compound can be
prepared by crystallization under different conditions.
[0084] The term "co-crystal" refers to a crystalline structure composed of at
least two
components. In certain embodiments, a co-crystal contains a compound of the
present
invention and one or more other component, including but not limited to,
atoms, ions,
molecules, or solvent molecules. In certain embodiments, a co-crystal contains
a compound
of the present invention and one or more solvent molecules. In certain
embodiments, a co-
crystal contains a compound of the present invention and one or more acid or
base. In certain
embodiments, a co-crystal contains a compound of the present invention and one
or more
components related to said compound, including not limited to, an isomer,
tautomer, salt,
solvate, hydrate, synthetic precursor, synthetic derivative, fragment or
impurity of said
compound.

[0085] The term "prodrugs" refers to compounds that have cleavable groups and
become by
solvolysis or under physiological conditions the compounds described herein,
which are
pharmaceutically active in vivo. Such examples include, but are not limited
to, choline ester
derivatives and the like, N-alkylmorpholine esters and the like. Other
derivatives of the
compounds described herein have activity in both their acid and acid
derivative forms, but in
the acid sensitive form often offer advantages of solubility, tissue
compatibility, or delayed
release in the mammalian organism (see, Bundgard, H., Design of Prodrugs, pp.
7-9, 21-24,
Elsevier, Amsterdam 1985). Prodrugs include acid derivatives well known to
practitioners of
the art, such as, for example, esters prepared by reaction of the parent acid
with a suitable
alcohol, or amides prepared by reaction of the parent acid compound with a
substituted or
unsubstituted amine, or acid anhydrides, or mixed anhydrides. Simple aliphatic
or aromatic
esters, amides, and anhydrides derived from acidic groups pendant on the
compounds
described herein are particular prodrugs. In some cases it is desirable to
prepare double ester
type prodrugs such as (acyloxy)alkyl esters or
((alkoxycarbonyl)oxy)alkylesters. C1-C8 alkyl,
C2-C8 alkenyl, C2-C8 alkynyl, aryl, C7-C12 substituted aryl, and C7-C12
arylalkyl esters of the
compounds described herein may be preferred.
[0086] The term "small molecule" refers to molecules, whether naturally-
occurring or
artificially created (e.g., via chemical synthesis) that have a relatively low
molecular weight.
Typically, a small molecule is an organic compound (i.e., it contains carbon).
The small
molecule may contain multiple carbon-carbon bonds, stereocenters, and other
functional
groups (e.g., amines, hydroxyl, carbonyls, and heterocyclic rings, etc.). In
certain
embodiments, the molecular weight of a small molecule is at most about 1,000
g/mol, at most
about 900 g/mol, at most about 800 g/mol, at most about 700 g/mol, at most
about 600 g/mol,
at most about 500 g/mol, at most about 400 g/mol, at most about 300 g/mol, at
most about
200 g/mol, or at most about 100 g/mol. In certain embodiments, the molecular
weight of a
small molecule is at least about 100 g/mol, at least about 200 g/mol, at least
about 300 g/mol,
at least about 400 g/mol, at least about 500 g/mol, at least about 600 g/mol,
at least about 700
g/mol, at least about 800 g/mol, or at least about 900 g/mol, or at least
about 1,000 g/mol.
Combinations of the above ranges (e.g., at least about 200 g/mol and at most
about 500
g/mol) are also possible. In certain embodiments, the small molecule is a
therapeutically
active agent such as a drug (e.g., a molecule approved by the U.S. Food and
Drug
Administration as provided in the Code of Federal Regulations (C.F.R.)). The
small molecule
may also be complexed with one or more metal atoms and/or metal ions. In this
instance, the
small molecule is also referred to as a "small organometallic molecule."

to, radionuclides and imaging agents. In certain embodiments, the small
molecule is a drug.
Preferably, though not necessarily, the drug is one that has already been
deemed safe and
effective for use in humans or animals by the appropriate governmental agency
or regulatory
body. For example, drugs approved for human use are listed by the FDA under 21
C.F.R.
330.5, 331 through 361, and 440 through 460, incorporated herein by reference;
drugs for
veterinary use are listed by the FDA under 21 C.F.R. 500 through 589,
incorporated herein
by reference. All listed drugs are considered acceptable for use in accordance
with the present
disclosure.
[0087] A "protein," "peptide," or "polypeptide" comprises a polymer of amino
acid residues
linked together by peptide bonds and refers to proteins, polypeptides, and
peptides of any
size, structure, or function. Typically, a protein will be at least three
amino acids long. A
protein may refer to an individual protein or a collection of proteins.
Proteins described
herein preferably contain only natural amino acids, although non-natural amino
acids (i.e.,
compounds that do not occur in nature but that can be incorporated into a
polypeptide chain)
and/or amino acid analogs as are known in the art may alternatively be
employed. Also, one
or more of the amino acids in a protein may be modified, for example, by the
addition of a
chemical entity such as a carbohydrate group, a hydroxyl group, a phosphate
group, a
farnesyl group, an isofarnesyl group, a fatty acid group, a linker for
conjugation or
functionalization, or other modification. A protein may also be a single
molecule or may be a
multi-molecular complex. A protein may be a fragment of a naturally occurring
protein or
peptide. A protein may be naturally occurring, recombinant, synthetic, or any
combination of
these.
[0088] The term "gene" refers to a nucleic acid fragment that expresses a
specific protein,
including regulatory sequences preceding (5' non-coding sequences) and
following (3' non-
coding sequences) the coding sequence. "Native gene" refers to a gene as found
in nature
with its own regulatory sequences. "Chimeric gene" or "chimeric construct"
refers to any
gene or a construct, not a native gene, comprising regulatory and coding
sequences that are
not found together in nature. Accordingly, a chimeric gene or chimeric
construct may
comprise regulatory sequences and coding sequences that are derived from
different sources,
or regulatory sequences and coding sequences derived from the same source, but
arranged in
a manner different than that found in nature. "Endogenous gene" refers to a
native gene in its
natural location in the genome of an organism. A "foreign" gene refers to a
gene not normally

PCT/US2016/051107
34
found in the host organism, but which is introduced into the host organism by
gene transfer.
Foreign genes can comprise native genes inserted into a non-native organism,
or chimeric
genes. A "transgene" is a gene that has been introduced into the genome by a
transformation
procedure.
[0089] The term "histone" refers to highly alkaline proteins found in
eukaryotic cell nuclei
that package and order the DNA into structural units called nucleosomes. They
are the chief
protein components of chromatin, acting as spools around which DNA winds, and
play a role
in gene regulation. In certain embodiments, the histone is histone H1 (e.g.,
histone H1F,
histone H1H1). In certain embodiments, the histone is histone H2A (e.g.,
histone H2AF,
histone H2A1, histone H2A2). In certain embodiments, the histone is histone
H2B (e.g.,
histone H2BF, histone H2B1, histone H2B2). In certain embodiments, the histone
is histone
H3 (e.g., histone H3A1, histone H3A2, histone H3A3). In certain embodiments,
the histone
is histone H4 (e.g., histone H41, histone H44).
[0090] The term "bromodomain" refers to a protein domain that recognizes
acetylated lysine
residues such as those on the N-terminal tails of histones. In certain
embodiments, a
bromodomain of a BET protein comprises about 110 amino acids and shares a
conserved fold
comprising a left-handed bundle of four alpha helices linked by diverse loop
regions that
interact with chromatin. In certain embodiments, the bromodomain is ASH1L

[0091] The term "bromodomain-containing protein" or "bromodomain protein"
refers to a
protein, whether wild-type or mutant, natural or synthetic, truncated or
complete, or a variant
thereof, that possesses the minimum amino acid sequence sufficient for a
functional
bromodomain capable of mediating molecular recognition of acetyl-lysine of
acetylated
lysine residues on a second protein (e.g., a histone), such as on the tails of
histones.
Bromodomain-containing proteins include, for example, fusion proteins
comprising a
bromodomain and an additional portion having a desired functionality (e.g., a
reporter
portion).
[0092] The terms "composition" and "formulation" are used interchangeably.
[0093] A "subject" to which administration is contemplated refers to a human
(i.e., male or
female of any age group, e.g., pediatric subject (e.g., infant, child, or
adolescent) or adult
subject (e.g., young adult, middle-aged adult, or senior adult)) or non-human
animal. In
certain embodiments, the non-human animal is a mammal (e.g., primate (e.g.,
cynomolgus
monkey or rhesus monkey), commercially relevant mammal (e.g., cattle, pig,
horse, sheep,
goat, cat, or dog), or bird (e.g., commercially relevant bird, such as
chicken, duck, goose, or
turkey)). In certain embodiments, the non-human animal is a fish, reptile, or
amphibian. The
non-human animal may be a male or female at any stage of development. The non-

[0098] The terms "treatment," "treat," and "treating" refer to reversing,
alleviating, delaying
the onset of, or inhibiting the progress of a disease described herein. In
some embodiments,
treatment may be administered after one or more signs or symptoms of the
disease have
developed or have been observed. In other embodiments, treatment may be
administered in
the absence of signs or symptoms of the disease. For example, treatment may be
administered
to a susceptible subject prior to the onset of symptoms (e.g., in light of a
history of symptoms
and/or in light of exposure to a pathogen). Treatment may also be continued
after symptoms
have resolved, for example, to delay or prevent recurrence.
[0099] An "effective amount" of a compound described herein refers to an
amount sufficient
to elicit the desired biological response, i.e., treating the condition. As
will be appreciated by
those of ordinary skill in this art, the effective amount of a compound
described herein may
vary depending on such factors as the desired biological endpoint, the
pharmacokinetics of
the compound, the condition being treated, the mode of administration, and the
age and
health of the subject. An effective amount encompasses therapeutic and
prophylactic
treatment.
[00100] A "therapeutically effective amount" of a compound described herein is

to delay or
minimize one or more symptoms associated with the condition. A therapeutically
effective
amount of a compound means an amount of therapeutic agent, alone or in
combination with
other therapies, which provides a therapeutic benefit in the treatment of the
condition. The
term "therapeutically effective amount" can encompass an amount that improves
overall
therapy, reduces or avoids symptoms, signs, or causes of the condition, and/or
enhances the
therapeutic efficacy of another therapeutic agent. In certain embodiments, a
therapeutically
effective amount is effective for inhibiting the activity of a bromodomain-
containing protein.

[00102] The term "inhibition", "inhibiting", "inhibit," or "inhibitor" refer
to the ability of a
compound to reduce, slow, halt or prevent activity of a particular biological
process (e.g.,
activity of a bromodomain and/or a bromodomain-containing protein) in a cell
relative to
vehicle. In some embodiments, the term refers to a reduction of the level of
enzyme activity,
e.g., (bromodomain, bromodomain-containing protein activity), to a level that
is statistically
significantly lower than an initial level, which may, for example, be a
baseline level of
enzyme activity. In some embodiments, the term refers to a reduction of the
level of enzyme
activity, e.g., (bromodomain, bromodomain-containing protein) activity, to a
level that is less
than 75%, less than 50%, less than 40%, less than 30%, less than 25%, less
than 20%, less

be a baseline
level of enzyme activity.
[00103] When a compound, pharmaceutical composition, method, use, or kit is
referred to as
"selectively," "specifically," or "competitively" binding a first protein or a
first chromatin,
the compound, pharmaceutical composition, method, use, or kit binds the first
protein or the
first chromatin with a higher binding affinity (e.g., not less than about 2-
fold, not less than
about 5-fold, not less than about 10-fold, not less than about 30-fold, not
less than about 100-
fold, not less than about 1,000-fold, or not less than about 10,000-fold) than
binding a second
protein or second chromatin that is different from the first protein and the
first chromatin.
When a compound, pharmaceutical composition, method, use, or kit is referred
to as
"selectively," "specifically," or "competitively" modulating (e.g., increasing
or inhibiting) the
activity of a bromodomain-containing protein, the compound, pharmaceutical
composition,
method, use, or kit modulates the activity of the bromodomain-containing
protein to a greater
extent (e.g., not less than about 2-fold, not less than about 5-fold, not less
than about 10-fold,
not less than about 30-fold, not less than about 100-fold, not less than about
1,000-fold, or not
less than about 10,000-fold) than the activity of at least one protein that is
different from the
bromodomain-containing protein.

[00104] The term "aberrant activity" refers to activity deviating from normal
activity. The
term "increased activity" refers to activity higher than normal activity.
[00105] A "proliferative disease" refers to a disease that occurs due to
abnormal growth or
extension by the multiplication of cells (Walker, Cambridge Dictionary of
Biology;
Cambridge University Press: Cambridge, UK, 1990). A proliferative disease may
be
associated with: 1) the pathological proliferation of normally quiescent
cells; 2) the
pathological migration of cells from their normal location (e.g., metastasis
of neoplastic
cells); 3) the pathological expression of proteolytic enzymes such as the
matrix
metalloproteinases (e.g., collagenases, gelatinases, and elastases); or 4) the
pathological
angiogenesis as in proliferative retinopathy and tumor metastasis. Exemplary
proliferative
diseases include cancers (i.e., "malignant neoplasms"), benign neoplasms,
diseases associated
with angiogenesis, inflammatory diseases, and autoimmune diseases.
[00106] The term "angiogenesis" refers to the physiological process through
which new
blood vessels form from pre-existing vessels. Angiogenesis is distinct from
vasculogenesis,
which is the de novo formation of endothelial cells from mesoderm cell
precursors. The first
vessels in a developing embryo form through vasculogenesis, after which
angiogenesis is
responsible for most blood vessel growth during normal or abnormal
development.
Angiogenesis is a vital process in growth and development, as well as in wound
healing and
in the formation of granulation tissue. However, angiogenesis is also a
fundamental step in
the transition of tumors from a benign state to a malignant one, leading to
the use of
angiogenesis inhibitors in the treatment of cancer. Angiogenesis may be
chemically
stimulated by angiogenic proteins, such as growth factors (e.g., VEGF).
"Pathological
angiogenesis" refers to abnormal (e.g., excessive or insufficient)
angiogenesis that amounts to
and/or is associated with a disease.
[00107] The terms "neoplasm" and "tumor" are used interchangeably and refer to
an
abnormal mass of tissue wherein the growth of the mass surpasses and is not
coordinated
with the growth of a normal tissue. A neoplasm or tumor may be "benign" or
"malignant,"
depending on the following characteristics: degree of cellular differentiation
(including
morphology and functionality), rate of growth, local invasion, and metastasis.
A "benign
neoplasm" is generally well differentiated, has characteristically slower
growth than a
malignant neoplasm, and remains localized to the site of origin. In addition,
a benign
neoplasm does not have the capacity to infiltrate, invade, or metastasize to
distant sites.
Exemplary benign neoplasms include, but are not limited to, lipoma, chondroma,
adenomas,
acrochordon, senile angiomas, seborrheic keratoses, lentigos, and sebaceous
hyperplasias. In
CA 02996974 2018-02-27
WO 2017/044849
PCT/US2016/051107
39
some cases, certain "benign" tumors may later give rise to malignant
neoplasms, which may
result from additional genetic changes in a subpopulation of the tumor's
neoplastic cells, and
these tumors are referred to as "pre-malignant neoplasms." An exemplary pre-
malignant
neoplasm is a teratoma. In contrast, a "malignant neoplasm" is generally
poorly differentiated
(anaplasia) and has characteristically rapid growth accompanied by progressive
infiltration,
invasion, and destruction of the surrounding tissue. Furthermore, a malignant
neoplasm
generally has the capacity to metastasize to distant sites. The term
"metastasis," "metastatic,"
or "metastasize" refers to the spread or migration of cancerous cells from a
primary or
original tumor to another organ or tissue and is typically identifiable by the
presence of a
"secondary tumor" or "secondary cell mass" of the tissue type of the primary
or original
tumor and not of that of the organ or tissue in which the secondary
(metastatic) tumor is
located. For example, a prostate cancer that has migrated to bone is said to
be metastasized
prostate cancer and includes cancerous prostate cancer cells growing in bone
tissue.
[00108] The term "cancer" refers to a malignant neoplasm (Stedman 's Medical
Dictionary,
25th ed.; Hensyl ed.; Williams & Wilkins: Philadelphia, 1990). Exemplary
cancers include,
but are not limited to, acoustic neuroma; adenocarcinoma; adrenal gland
cancer; anal cancer;
angiosarcoma (e.g., lymphangiosarcoma, lymphangioendotheliosarcoma,
hemangiosarcoma);
appendix cancer; benign monoclonal gammopathy; biliary cancer (e.g.,

[00110] An "autoimmune disease" refers to a disease arising from an
inappropriate immune
response of the body of a subject against substances and tissues normally
present in the body.
In other words, the immune system mistakes some part of the body as a pathogen
and attacks
its own cells. This may be restricted to certain organs (e.g., in autoimmune
thyroiditis) or
involve a particular tissue in different places (e.g., Goodpasture's disease
which may affect
the basement membrane in both the lung and kidney). The treatment of
autoimmune diseases
is typically with immunosuppression, e.g., medications which decrease the
immune response.
Exemplary autoimmune diseases include, but are not limited to,
glomerulonephritis,
Goodpasture's syndrome, necrotizing vasculitis, lymphadenitis, peri-arteritis
nodosa,
systemic lupus erythematosis, rheumatoid, arthritis, psoriatic arthritis,
systemic lupus
erythematosis, psoriasis, ulcerative colitis, systemic sclerosis,
dermatomyositis/polymyositis,
anti-phospholipid antibody syndrome, scleroderma, pemphigus vulgaris, ANCA-
associated
vasculitis (e.g., Wegener's granulomatosis, microscopic polyangiitis),
uveitis, Sjogren's
syndrome, Crohn's disease, Reiter's syndrome, ankylosing spondylitis, Lyme
disease,
Guillain-Barre syndrome, Hashimoto's thyroiditis, and cardiomyopathy.
[00111] The term "neurological disease" refers to any disease of the nervous
system,
including diseases that involve the central nervous system (brain, brainstem
and cerebellum),
the peripheral nervous system (including cranial nerves), and the autonomic
nervous system
(parts of which are located in both central and peripheral nervous system).
Neurodegenerative
diseases refer to a type of neurological disease marked by the loss of nerve
cells, including,
but not limited to, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, amyotrophic
lateral sclerosis,
tauopathies (including frontotemporal dementia), and Huntington's disease.
Examples of
neurological diseases include, but are not limited to, headache, stupor and
coma, dementia,
seizure, sleep disorders, trauma, infections, neoplasms, neuro-ophthalmology,

[00112] The term "metabolic disorder" refers to any disorder that involves an
alteration in the
normal metabolism of carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, nucleic acids, or a
combination thereof.
A metabolic disorder is associated with either a deficiency or excess in a
metabolic pathway
resulting in an imbalance in metabolism of nucleic acids, proteins, lipids,
and/or
carbohydrates. Factors affecting metabolism include, and are not limited to,
the endocrine
(hormonal) control system (e.g., the insulin pathway, the enteroendocrine
hormones including
GLP-1, PYY or the like), the neural control system (e.g., GLP-1 in the brain),
or the like.
Examples of metabolic disorders include, but are not limited to, diabetes
(e.g., Type I
diabetes, Type II diabetes, gestational diabetes), hyperglycemia,
hyperinsulinemia, insulin
resistance, and obesity.
[00113] A "kinase" is a type of enzyme that transfers phosphate groups from
high energy
donor molecules, such as ATP, to specific substrates, referred to as
phosphorylation. Kinases
are part of the larger family of phosphotransferases. One of the largest
groups of kinases are
protein kinases, which act on and modify the activity of specific proteins.
Kinases are used
extensively to transmit signals and control complex processes in cells.
Various other kinases
act on small molecules such as lipids, carbohydrates, amino acids, and
nucleotides, either for
signaling or to prime them for metabolic pathways. Kinases are often named
after their
substrates. More than 500 different protein kinases have been identified in
humans. These
exemplary human protein kinases include, but are not limited to, AAK1, ABL,
ACK,

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF CERTAIN EMBODIMENTS
[00116] The present disclosure provides compounds of Formulae (I) and (II),
which bind
bromodomains and/or bromodomain-containing proteins. The compounds described
herein
may be able to bind in a pocket of a bromodomain (e.g., a bromodomain of a
bromodomain-
containing protein). In certain embodiments, the compounds described herein
may bind in the
pocket of a bromodomain and disrupt the interaction between the bromodomain
binding
pocket and an acetylated lysine residue of a second protein (e.g., a histone).
In certain
embodiments, the compounds described herein bind in the pocket of the
bromodomain. The
compound described herein may also modulate (e.g., inhibit) the activity of a
bromodomain
and/or bromodomain-containing protein. Also provided in the present disclosure
are
pharmaceutical compositions, methods, uses, and kits useful in modulating
(e.g., inhibiting)
the activity of a bromodomain-containing protein (e.g., a transcription
factor). The
compounds, pharmaceutical compositions, methods, uses, and kits may be useful
in treating
and/or preventing diseases associated with a bromodomain, diseases associated
with a
bromodomain-containing protein, diseases associated with the activity (e.g.,
aberrant activity)
of a bromodomain, and diseases associated with the activity (e.g., aberrant
activity) of a
bromodomain-containing protein. Exemplary diseases that maybe prevented and/or
treated
with compounds described herein include proliferative diseases (e.g., cancers,
benign
neoplasms, pathological angiogenesis, inflammatory diseases, and autoimmune
diseases),
autoimmune diseases, cardiovascular diseases, viral infections, fibrotic
diseases, neurological
diseases, metabolic diseases, endocrine diseases, and radiation poisoning. The
compounds,
pharmaceutical compositions, methods, uses, and kits may also be useful for
male
contraception and for preventing and/or treating a viral infection (e.g., by
inhibiting the
replication of a virus, by killing a virus).
[00117] Compounds described herein (e.g., compounds of Formulae (I) and (II))
have been
found to bind bromodomain-containing proteins. In certain embodiments, the
compounds
described herein bind to a bromodomain-containing protein. Without wishing to
be bound by
any particular theory, the compounds described herein are thought to bind in a
pocket of a
bromodomain of a bromodomain-containing protein. In certain embodiments, the
compounds
described herein bind in the binding pocket of the bromodomain by mimicking
the contact
between an acetyl-lysine residue of a second protein (e.g., a histone) and the
binding pocket.
In certain embodiments, the compounds described herein bind in the binding
pocket of the
bromodomain. In certain embodiments, the compounds described herein covalently
bind to
the bromodomain-containing protein. In certain embodiments, the compounds
described
CA 02996974 2018-02-27
WO 2017/044849
PCT/US2016/051107
49
herein non-covalently bind to the bromodomain-containing protein. In certain
embodiments,
the compounds described herein reversibly bind to the bromodomain-containing
protein. In
certain embodiments, the compounds described herein non-reversibly bind to the
bromodomain-containing protein. In certain embodiments, the compounds
described herein
inhibit the activity (e.g., aberrant activity, increased activity) of a
bromodomain-containing
protein. In certain embodiments, the compounds described herein inhibit the
activity (e.g.,
aberrant activity, increased activity) of a bromodomain. In certain
embodiments, the activity
of a bromodomain is the ability of the bromodomain to bind an acetylated
lysine residue (e.g.,
an acetylated lysine residue on the N-terminal tails of histones), which may
be part of another
protein or peptide. In certain embodiments, the compounds described herein
specifically bind
to a bromodomain-containing protein (e.g., bind to a bromodomain-containing
protein with a
higher binding affinity than to a different bromodomain-containing protein
and/or to a protein
that is not a bromodomain-containing protein). In certain embodiments, the
compounds
described herein specifically bind to a bromodomain of a bromodomain-
containing protein
(e.g., bind to a bromodomain of a bromodomain-containing protein with a higher
binding
affinity than to a non-bromodomain of the bromodomain-containing protein). In
certain
embodiments, the compounds described herein non-specifically bind to a
bromodomain-
containing protein (e.g., bind to a bromodomain of the bromodomain-containing
protein). In
certain embodiments, the compounds described herein reduce transcriptional
elongation. In
certain embodiments, the compounds described herein disrupt the subcellular
localization of a
bromodomain-containing protein. In certain embodiments, the compounds
described herein
reduce chromatin binding. In certain embodiments, the compounds described
herein inhibit
the formation of a chromatin by reducing the binding of a protein (e.g.,
histone) to a DNA. In
certain embodiments, the compounds described herein inhibit the binding of
Histone H4 Kac
peptide to a bromodomain of a bromodomain-containing protein. In certain
embodiments, the
compounds described herein form one or more hydrogen bonds with an
evolutionarily
conserved asparagine in a bromodomain of a bromodomain-containing protein. In
certain
embodiments, the asparagine is Asn140 in BRD4(1) and Asn429 in BRD2(2). In
certain
embodiments, the bromodomain-containing protein is BRD4 or BRD2; and the
asparagine is
Asn140 in BRD4(1) and Asn429 in BRD2(2). In certain embodiments, the compounds
described herein bind competitively with chromatin in a cellular environment.
It is thus
expected that the compounds described herein may be useful in the treatment of
a disease
associated with the activity a bromodomain-containing protein (e.g., a
proliferative disease).

[00333] Liquid dosage forms for oral and parenteral administration include
pharmaceutically
acceptable emulsions, microemulsions, solutions, suspensions, syrups and
elixirs. In addition
to the active ingredients, the liquid dosage forms may comprise inert diluents
commonly used
in the art such as, for example, water or other solvents, solubilizing agents
and emulsifiers
such as ethyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol, ethyl carbonate, ethyl acetate,
benzyl alcohol, benzyl
benzoate, propylene glycol, 1,3-butylene glycol, dimethylformamide, oils
(e.g., cottonseed,
groundnut, corn, germ, olive, castor, and sesame oils), glycerol,
tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol,
polyethylene glycols and fatty acid esters of sorbitan, and mixtures thereof.
Besides inert
diluents, the oral compositions can include adjuvants such as wetting agents,
emulsifying and
suspending agents, sweetening, flavoring, and perfuming agents. In certain
embodiments for
parenteral administration, the conjugates described herein are mixed with
solubilizing agents
such as Cremophor , alcohols, oils, modified oils, glycols, polysorbates,
cyclodextrins,
polymers, and mixtures thereof.
[00334] Injectable preparations, for example, sterile injectable aqueous or
oleaginous
suspensions can be formulated according to the known art using suitable
dispersing or
wetting agents and suspending agents. The sterile injectable preparation can
be a sterile
injectable solution, suspension, or emulsion in a nontoxic parenterally
acceptable diluent or
solvent, for example, as a solution in 1,3-butanediol. Among the acceptable
vehicles and
solvents that can be employed are water, Ringer's solution, U.S.P., and
isotonic sodium
chloride solution. In addition, sterile, fixed oils are conventionally
employed as a solvent or
CA 02996974 2018-02-27
WO 2017/044849
PCT/US2016/051107
122
suspending medium. For this purpose any bland fixed oil can be employed
including
synthetic mono- or di-glycerides. In addition, fatty acids such as oleic acid
are used in the
preparation of injectables.
[00335] The injectable formulations can be sterilized, for example, by
filtration through a
bacterial-retaining filter, or by incorporating sterilizing agents in the form
of sterile solid
compositions which can be dissolved or dispersed in sterile water or other
sterile injectable
medium prior to use.
[00336] In order to prolong the effect of a drug, it is often desirable to
slow the absorption of
the drug from subcutaneous or intramuscular injection. This can be
accomplished by the use
of a liquid suspension of crystalline or amorphous material with poor water
solubility. The
rate of absorption of the drug then depends upon its rate of dissolution,
which, in turn, may
depend upon crystal size and crystalline form. Alternatively, delayed
absorption of a
parenterally administered drug form may be accomplished by dissolving or
suspending the
drug in an oil vehicle.
[00337] Compositions for rectal or vaginal administration are typically
suppositories which
can be prepared by mixing the conjugates described herein with suitable non-
irritating
excipients or carriers such as cocoa butter, polyethylene glycol, or a
suppository wax which
are solid at ambient temperature but liquid at body temperature and therefore
melt in the
rectum or vaginal cavity and release the active ingredient.
[00338] Solid dosage forms for oral administration include capsules, tablets,
pills, powders,
and granules. In such solid dosage forms, the active ingredient is mixed with
at least one inert,
pharmaceutically acceptable excipient or carrier such as sodium citrate or
dicalcium
phosphate and/or (a) fillers or extenders such as starches, lactose, sucrose,
glucose, mannitol,
and silicic acid, (b) binders such as, for example, carboxymethylcellulose,
alginates, gelatin,
polyvinylpyrrolidinone, sucrose, and acacia, (c) humectants such as glycerol,
(d)
disintegrating agents such as agar, calcium carbonate, potato or tapioca
starch, alginic acid,
certain silicates, and sodium carbonate, (e) solution retarding agents such as
paraffin, (f)
absorption accelerators such as quaternary ammonium compounds, (g) wetting
agents such as,
for example, cetyl alcohol and glycerol monostearate, (h) absorbents such as
kaolin and
bentonite clay, and (i) lubricants such as talc, calcium stearate, magnesium
stearate, solid
polyethylene glycols, sodium lauryl sulfate, and mixtures thereof. In the case
of capsules,
tablets, and pills, the dosage form may include a buffering agent.
[00339] Solid compositions of a similar type can be employed as fillers in
soft and hard-filled
gelatin capsules using such excipients as lactose or milk sugar as well as
high molecular
CA 02996974 2018-02-27
WO 2017/044849
PCT/US2016/051107
123
weight polyethylene glycols and the like. The solid dosage forms of tablets,
dragees, capsules,
pills, and granules can be prepared with coatings and shells such as enteric
coatings and other
coatings well known in the art of pharmacology. They may optionally comprise
opacifying
agents and can be of a composition that they release the active ingredient(s)
only, or
preferentially, in a certain part of the intestinal tract, optionally, in a
delayed manner.
Examples of encapsulating compositions which can be used include polymeric
substances
and waxes. Solid compositions of a similar type can be employed as fillers in
soft and hard-
filled gelatin capsules using such excipients as lactose or milk sugar as well
as high
molecular weight polyethylene glycols and the like.
[00340] The active ingredient can be in a micro-encapsulated form with one or
more
excipients as noted above. The solid dosage forms of tablets, dragees,
capsules, pills, and
granules can be prepared with coatings and shells such as enteric coatings,
release controlling
coatings, and other coatings well known in the pharmaceutical formulating art.
In such solid
dosage forms the active ingredient can be admixed with at least one inert
diluent such as
sucrose, lactose, or starch. Such dosage forms may comprise, as is normal
practice, additional
substances other than inert diluents, e.g., tableting lubricants and other
tableting aids such a
magnesium stearate and microcrystalline cellulose. In the case of capsules,
tablets and pills,
the dosage forms may comprise buffering agents. They may optionally comprise
opacifying
agents and can be of a composition that they release the active ingredient(s)
only, or
preferentially, in a certain part of the intestinal tract, optionally, in a
delayed manner.
Examples of encapsulating agents which can be used include polymeric
substances and
waxes.
[00341] Dosage forms for topical and/or transdermal administration of a
compound described
herein may include ointments, pastes, creams, lotions, gels, powders,
solutions, sprays,
inhalants, and/or patches. Generally, the active ingredient is admixed under
sterile conditions
with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or excipient and/or any needed
preservatives
and/or buffers as can be required. Additionally, the present disclosure
contemplates the use of
transdermal patches, which often have the added advantage of providing
controlled delivery
of an active ingredient to the body. Such dosage forms can be prepared, for
example, by
dissolving and/or dispensing the active ingredient in the proper medium.
Alternatively or
additionally, the rate can be controlled by either providing a rate
controlling membrane
and/or by dispersing the active ingredient in a polymer matrix and/or gel.
[00342] Intradermal compositions can be administered by devices which limit
the effective
penetration length of a needle into the skin. Alternatively or additionally,
conventional
CA 02996974 2018-02-27
WO 2017/044849
PCT/US2016/051107
124
syringes can be used in the classical mantoux method of intradermal
administration. Jet
injection devices which deliver liquid formulations to the dermis via a liquid
jet injector
and/or via a needle which pierces the stratum corneum and produces a jet which
reaches the
dermis are suitable. Ballistic powder/particle delivery devices which use
compressed gas to
accelerate the compound in powder form through the outer layers of the skin to
the dermis are
suitable.
[00343] Formulations suitable for topical administration include, but are not
limited to, liquid
and/or semi-liquid preparations such as liniments, lotions, oil-in-water
and/or water-in-oil
emulsions such as creams, ointments, and/or pastes, and/or solutions and/or
suspensions.
Topically administrable formulations may, for example, comprise from about 1%
to about 10%
(w/w) active ingredient, although the concentration of the active ingredient
can be as high as
the solubility limit of the active ingredient in the solvent. Formulations for
topical
administration may further comprise one or more of the additional ingredients
described
herein.
[00344] A pharmaceutical composition described herein can be prepared,
packaged, and/or
sold in a formulation suitable for pulmonary administration via the buccal
cavity. Such a
formulation may comprise dry particles which comprise the active ingredient
and which have
a diameter in the range from about 0.5 to about 7 nanometers, or from about 1
to about 6
nanometers. Such compositions are conveniently in the form of dry powders for
administration using a device comprising a dry powder reservoir to which a
stream of
propellant can be directed to disperse the powder and/or using a self-
propelling
solvent/powder dispensing container such as a device comprising the active
ingredient
dissolved and/or suspended in a low-boiling propellant in a sealed container.
Such powders
comprise particles wherein at least 98% of the particles by weight have a
diameter greater
than 0.5 nanometers and at least 95% of the particles by number have a
diameter less than 7
nanometers. Alternatively, at least 95% of the particles by weight have a
diameter greater
than 1 nanometer and at least 90% of the particles by number have a diameter
less than 6
nanometers. Dry powder compositions may include a solid fine powder diluent
such as sugar
and are conveniently provided in a unit dose form.
[00345] Low boiling propellants generally include liquid propellants having a
boiling point
of below 65 F at atmospheric pressure. Generally the propellant may
constitute 50 to 99.9%
(w/w) of the composition, and the active ingredient may constitute 0.1 to 20%
(w/w) of the
composition. The propellant may further comprise additional ingredients such
as a liquid
CA 02996974 2018-02-27
WO 2017/044849
PCT/US2016/051107
125
non-ionic and/or solid anionic surfactant and/or a solid diluent (which may
have a particle
size of the same order as particles comprising the active ingredient).
[00346] Pharmaceutical compositions described herein formulated for pulmonary
delivery
may provide the active ingredient in the form of droplets of a solution and/or
suspension.
Such formulations can be prepared, packaged, and/or sold as aqueous and/or
dilute alcoholic
solutions and/or suspensions, optionally sterile, comprising the active
ingredient, and may
conveniently be administered using any nebulization and/or atomization device.
Such
formulations may further comprise one or more additional ingredients
including, but not
limited to, a flavoring agent such as saccharin sodium, a volatile oil, a
buffering agent, a
surface active agent, and/or a preservative such as methylhydroxybenzoate. The
droplets
provided by this route of administration may have an average diameter in the
range from
about 0.1 to about 200 nanometers.
[00347] Formulations described herein as being useful for pulmonary delivery
are useful for
intranasal delivery of a pharmaceutical composition described herein. Another
formulation
suitable for intranasal administration is a coarse powder comprising the
active ingredient and
having an average particle from about 0.2 to 500 micrometers. Such a
formulation is
administered by rapid inhalation through the nasal passage from a container of
the powder
held close to the nares.
[00348] Formulations for nasal administration may, for example, comprise from
about as
little as 0.1% (w/w) to as much as 100% (w/w) of the active ingredient, and
may comprise
one or more of the additional ingredients described herein. A pharmaceutical
composition
described herein can be prepared, packaged, and/or sold in a formulation for
buccal
administration. Such formulations may, for example, be in the form of tablets
and/or lozenges
made using conventional methods, and may contain, for example, 0.1 to 20%
(w/w) active
ingredient, the balance comprising an orally dissolvable and/or degradable
composition and,
optionally, one or more of the additional ingredients described herein.
Alternately,
formulations for buccal administration may comprise a powder and/or an
aerosolized and/or
atomized solution and/or suspension comprising the active ingredient. Such
powdered,
aerosolized, and/or aerosolized formulations, when dispersed, may have an
average particle
and/or droplet size in the range from about 0.1 to about 200 nanometers, and
may further
comprise one or more of the additional ingredients described herein.

bromodomain of a bromodomain-containing protein to an acetyl-lysine residue of
a second
protein (e.g., a histone), methods of modulating (e.g., inhibiting) the
transcriptional
elongation, methods of modulating (e.g., down-regulating or inhibiting) the
expression (e.g.,
transcription) of a gene that is regulated by a bromodomain-containing
protein, methods of
inducing apoptosis, and methods of inducing GI arrest.
[00365] Gene regulation is fundamentally governed by reversible, non-covalent
assembly of
macromolecules. Signal transduction to RNA polymerase requires higher-ordered
protein
complexes, spatially regulated by assembly factors capable of interpreting the
post-
translational modification states of chromatin. Epigenetic readers are
structurally diverse
proteins, and each of the epigenetic readers possesses one or more
evolutionarily conserved
effector modules, which recognize covalent modifications of proteins (e.g.,
histones) or
DNA. The E-N-acetylation of lysine residues (Kac) on histone tails is
associated with an open

WO 2017/044849
PCT/US2016/051107
137
chromatin architecture and transcriptional activation. Context-specific
molecular recognition
of acetyl-lysine is principally mediated by bromodomains.
[00366] Bromodomain-containing proteins are of substantial biological
interest, as
components of transcription factor complexes (e.g., TBP (TATA box binding
protein)-
associated factor 1 (TAF1), CREB-binding protein (CBP or CREBBP), P300/CBP-
associated
factor (PCAF), and Gcn5) and determinants of epigenetic memory. There are 41
human
proteins containing a total of 57 diverse bromodomains. Despite large sequence
variations, all
bromodomains share a conserved fold comprising a left-handed bundle of four
alpha helices
(az, aA, aB, and ac), linked by diverse loop regions (ZA and BC loops) that
determine
substrate specificity. Co-crystal structures with peptidic substrates showed
that the acetyl-
lysine is recognized by a central hydrophobic cavity and is anchored by a
hydrogen bond
with an asparagine residue present in most bromodomains. The bromo and extra-
terminal
(BET) family (e.g., BRD2, BRD3, BRD4 and BRDT) shares a common domain
architecture
comprising two N-terminal bromodomains that exhibit a high degree of sequence
conservation, and a more divergent C-terminal recruitment domain.
[00367] Recent research has established a compelling rationale for targeting
BRD4 in cancer.
BRD4 functions to facilitate cell cycle progression, and knock-down in
cultured cancer cell
lines prompts G1 arrest. BRD4 is an important mediator of transcriptional
elongation,
functioning to recruit the positive transcription elongation factor complex (P-
TEFb). Cyclin
dependent kinase-9, a core component of P-TEFb, is a validated target in
chronic
lymphocytic leukemia, and has recently been linked to c-Myc dependent
transcription.
Bromodomains present in BRD4 recruit P-TEFb to mitotic chromosomes resulting
in
increased expression of growth promoting genes. BRD4 remains bound to
transcriptional
start sites of genes expressed during M/G1 but has not been found present at
start sites that
are expressed later in the cell cycle. Knockdown of BRD4 in proliferating
cells has been
shown to lead to G1 arrest and apoptosis by decreasing expression levels of
genes important
for mitotic progression and survival.
[00368] Importantly, BRD4 has recently been identified as a component of a
recurrent
t(15;19) chromosomal translocation in an aggressive form of human squamous
cell
carcinoma. Such translocations express the tandem N-terminal bromodomains of
BRD4 as an
in-frame chimera with the nuclear protein in testis (NUT) protein, genetically
defining the
NUT midline carcinoma (NMC). Functional studies in patient-derived NMC cell
lines have
validated the essential role of the BRD4-NUT oncoprotein in maintaining the
characteristic
proliferation advantage and differentiation block of this malignancy. Notably,
RNA silencing

PCT/US2016/051107
138
of BRD4-NUT gene expression arrests proliferation and prompts squamous
differentiation
with a marked increase in cytokeratin expression. A bromodomain may also down-
regulates
Myc and other transcriptional factors, such as interleukin 7 receptor (IL7R).
These
observations underscore the utility and therapeutic potential of a binder or
inhibitor of
bromodomain-containing proteins.

Example II. Selected Compounds and Biological Activity
[00451] The IC50 of the compounds were determined by ALPHASCREENING assays for
BRD4 and BRDT proteins. NMC797 cell line is a BRD4 dependant NUT midline
carcinoma
line. NMC797 showed high denpendency on BRD4 inhibition, and the IC50 was
determined
by ATPLITE assay.
[00452] Acetyl-Histone Binding Assay. Assays were performed as described
previously
with minor modifications from the manufacturer's protocol (PerkinElmer, USA).

were diluted in 50 mM HEPES, 100 mM NaC1, 0.1 % BSA, pH 7.4 supplemented with
0.05
% CHAPS and allowed to equilibrate to room temperature prior to addition to
plates. A 24-
point 1:2 serial dilution of the ligands was prepared over the range of 150 ¨
0 pM and 4 1
transferred to low-volume 384-well plates (ProxiPlateTM-384 Plus, PerkinElmer,
USA),
followed by 4 pl of HIS-tagged protein (BRD4/1, 250 nM, BRD4/2 and CREBBP,
2000 nM).
Plates were sealed and incubated at room temperature for 30 minutes, before
the addition of 4
pl of biotinylated peptide at equimolar concentration to the protein [peptide
for BRD4(1) &
BRD4(2), and BRDT: H4K5acK8acK12acK16ac, H-
SGRGK(Ac)GGK(Ac)GLGK(Ac)GGAK(Ac)RHRK(Biotin)-0H; peptide for CREBBP:
H3K36ac, Biotin-KSAPATGGVK(Ac)KPHRYRPGT-OH (Cambridge Research
Biochemicals, UK)]. Plates were sealed and incubated for a further 30 minutes,
before the
addition of 4 pl of streptavidin-coated donor beads (25 pg/ml) and 4 pl nickel
chelate
acceptor beads (25 pg/ml) under low light conditions. Plates were foil-sealed
to protect from
light, incubated at room temperature for 60 minutes and read on a PHERAstar FS
plate reader
(BMG Labtech, Germany) using an AlphaScreen 680 excitation/570 emission filter
set. IC50
values were calculated in Prism 5 (GraphPad Software, USA) after normalization
against
corresponding DMSO controls and are given as the final concentration of
compound in the 20
pl reaction volume.
[00453] Cell Proliferation Assay. Cells were seeded into white, 384-well
microtiter plates
(Nunc) at 500 cells per well in a total volume of 50 L media. The 797, TT, and
TEI0 cells
were grown in DMEM containing 1 % penicillin/streptomycin and 10 % FBS. The
Per403
cells were grown in DMEM containing 1 % penicillin/streptomycin and 20 % FBS.
Compounds were delivered to microtiter assay plates by robotic pin transfer
(PerkinElmer
JANUS equipped with a V&P Scientific 100 nL pin tool). Following a 48 h
incubation at 37
C, cells were lysed and wells were assessed for total ATP content using a
commercial
proliferation assay (Cell TITERGLO; Promega). Replicate measurements were
analyzed with
respect to dose and estimates of IC50 were calculated by logistic regression
(GRAPHPAD
PRISM).
